Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum: Next bullish targets after BTC/USD leapfrogs $12,000 as Facebook's Libra makes waves – Confluence Detector
|- Cryptocurrencies seem to have ended their consolidation phase and enjoy another surge.
- The incessant talk about Libra and the renewed interest in cryptos is pushing prices higher.
- Here are the next levels to watch according to the Confluence Detector.
A week has passed since Facebook announced its cryptocurrency project – but the social media behemoth just cannot stay out of the news – in the crypto-sphere and in the broader public.
The incessant chatter helps bring Bitcoin and to a lesser extent Ethereum and Ripple to the spotlight – and to investors' minds. Digital coins are seeing higher inflows – and this also draws more attention and additional money flowing in.
Facebook – which has been under scrutiny for years due to privacy concerns – may bring much needed regulation to the world of cryptos and perhaps help bring about a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which may draw mainstream investors into the digital coin.
How far can BTC, ETH, and XRP go? In the short term, a lot depends on the technicals.
This is what the Crypto Confluence Detector shows in its latest update:
